genesis alpha one xbox launch

If you’re an independent developer, then teaming up with Team17 normally sees you able to deliver an experience that is out of this world. And with the launch of Genesis Alpha One on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, Radiation Blue are aiming for the stars!

Available right now to purchase and download on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, Genesis Alpha One drops you into the shoes of the commander of a Genesis starship, on the hunt for new planets to allow civilisations to continue to thrive.

Mixing ship building elements – the core backbone of the entire Alpha One experience – with some super smooth first person gunplay, and adding in a smattering of roguelike systems to ensure that the clones you create become centre stage, Genesis Alpha One brings a bit of everything.

Thankfully, what it does bring is damn good too and if you have any interest in space travel, like some hard and fast running and gunning, or just wish to kick back and look over the blueprint ship building side of things, then we urge you to read our full review of Genesis Alpha One on Xbox One.

With brilliant visuals, some sound that is quite literally out of this world, a ton of planets to visit and farm, and many more ways to play, this is a game that should well deliver a totally unique experience to each and every gamer out there.

Interested in looking for that Genesis planet in the huge galaxy that Radiation Blue and Team17 have created? You’ll want to get over to a digital store near you right now. For us Xbox One gamers then that obviously means dropping in on the Xbox Store and picking up Genesis Alpha One on Xbox One for just £24.99. Those on PS4 and PC should visit their own stores.

There is also a little add-on pack available too. For £3.19 the Rocket Star Corporation Pack for Genesis Alpha One brings a new start up and weapons – UTS 15, Firebomb Launcher (FBL), AsVal and the Kugelblitz.

Will you be spending time with this latest galactic traveller? Let us know in the comments below.

Game Description:

Genesis Alpha One mixes thrilling roguelike mechanics with a deep ship builder and fast first-person action, putting you in the role of an interstellar pioneer.  In a near future ravaged by wars, corrupt regimes and devastating pollution, influential corporations have created the Genesis program in a last-ditch attempt to save humanity. As the Captain of a Genesis starship, you journey into uncharted space on the ultimate mission. Build and manage a space vessel, farm resources, deal with terrifying alien infestations, clone creatures and explore a vast, randomly generated universe. Your goal: Find new homes for humanity’s DNA and save the species from extinction. A ROGUELIKE ON AN EPIC SCALE Every journey in Genesis Alpha One begins with a huge, randomised galaxy filled with adventure and peril. Discover new planets, encounter asteroid fields, survive hostile encounters as you explore the vastness of space. Death is permanent so every crew members life matters, and every decision must be carefully considered. BUILD AND MANAGE YOUR UNIQUE STARSHIP Starting with a small vessel, you’ll have to build and maintain an intergalactic ark by combining dozens of upgradable spaceship modules including crew quarters, workshops, hangars, clone labs and greenhouses. Using an intuitive building menu, easily snap together the pieces of your ship to tailor it to your playstyle. Develop your vessel and then explore your creation in first person. BATTLE ALIEN INFESTATIONS Alien infestations can spread quickly, contaminating the ship and crew. It’s imperative to wipe them out before you become overwhelmed and your ship is destroyed! An arsenal of weapons and defences can be researched to help you fight the alien threat. Unleash Turrets, Force Fields, Laser Blasters, Shotguns, Rifles, Grenade Launchers, Rocket Launchers, Flamethrowers or alien weapons to devastate hostile lifeforms. CLONE YOUR CREW AND CREATE NEW LIFEFORMS As your ship grows, so must your crew. Using ground-breaking cloning technology, your crew will expand to meet the needs of the ship. Loot DNA samples from the aliens you encounter across the galaxy and splice them with members of your crew to give humanity a chance to prosper with abilities far beyond what was previously imagined. HARVEST RESOURCES FROM THE VASTNESS OF SPACE Roaming the immense universe won’t be possible without gathering resources. Elements such as Iron, Copper, Uranium and Plutonium must be mined from planets and then refined on-board your ship. These will be utilised to build new modules, weapons, clones and tools. You can join the harvester crew on planet surfaces and discover additional loot and secrets.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
